Between Joe Exotic and You

Sky Williamson June 30 at 7:22pm
Sandlin said NO to BCR and MANY of us agree with him and then there are many that do not. The main people in this campaign DO NOT feel that BCR would be the best place for him.....



Joe Exotic July 1 at 9:23am Report

Sky Williamson July 1 at 10:50pm

Joe Exotic July 2 at 11:29am Report
us humans can do much better at alot of things, one is by trying to run others lives instead of working with people instead of against them, do you not think you could get further working with mike instead of trying to force him to do something? Really, how would you feel, if we were to take your kid or what ever away from you? its not right, and its not fair, to live in america and be treated like scum just because a group of people think they are better than you

*us humans can do much better at alot of things, one is by trying to run others lives instead of working with people instead of against them, do you not think you could get further working with mike instead*
No that’s wrong I’m not trying to run his life I’m trying to stop the suffering of Tony because of Michael. I don’t care what he does with his life all the way to him being gay, that is his life BUT when you see an animal a child or the elderly that need help and you turn your back then you are just as bad as that person. Joe people have tried to work with Michael for years and I do mean years. It has NEVER worked. He was offered FREE vet care in Dec. and refused it. I bet if you knew all the facts you would feel different!

*of trying to force him to do something?*
The law is the law and LDWF gave him a permit illegally- ALDF proved that in court.
*Really, how would you feel, if we were to take your kid or what ever away from you?*
If I was NOT properly caring for my child and that happened then I got what I deserved!!!!!
*its not right, and its not fair, to live in america and be treated like scum just because a group of people think they are better than you*
Joe Michael has done nothing but lied through this whole thing, he is scum. If you don’t think you are doing anything wrong then you would not lie over and over and over……
Listen you just don’t know the whole story and considering that I started this campaign it would take me months to tell you the whole story. No matter how much you are against what I’m doing if you had all the facts you may be quite surprised…… He has never treated his tigers with an ounce of compassion, never.



Joe Exotic July 2 at 1:56pm Report
what ever, your still saying he is abusing tony, if that were a fact he would be charged with criminal abuse, the Law enforcement not the law of opinion. fact is fact, show me abuse, sores, sick vet calls left gone un attended, no food, under weight, no water, etc. just at a truck stop is not abuse no matter if we all agree with it or not, it just plain and simple not abuse. and lets dont talk lies, Carole baskin your biggest support cause is the last person to be saying anyone is lying, and that my friend I do have proof on

Why are you blocking people who are trying to give information about tony that you are choosing to leave out. I have recent photos of tony and he is in good condition. Full of life not underweight like you have stated as well as he has s nice enclosure with AC in his den box. I have family who visit tony on several occasions and he has never been locked out. Why are you not letting all the information be told.

For Tony: From Care2 Petition Site

 




On behalf of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and Care2, thank you so much for signing the petition “Free Tony the Tiger from his Truckstop Cage.”
More than 40,000 Care2 members asked the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) to not renew the state permit that allows Tony to be housed in unacceptable and inhumane conditions at a truck stop in Cross Tete, Louisiana. By signing the petition, you helped raise considerable awareness about Tony’s situation.
Sadly, in mid-December, officials from the LDWF decided to ignore our opposition and to instead grant the permit renewal to Tony’s owner, Michael Sandlin, allowing him to continue exhibiting Tony as a road-side attraction at the truck stop throughout 2011.
WSPA and Care2 are both deeply disappointed by LDWF’s decision and their apparent lack of concern for Tony’s physical and mental well-being. WSPA is continuing to monitor Tony’s situation and advocate for his rescue and relocation.
Thank you again for speaking out for Tony. Every petition you sign is an important chance to make a difference and we will create another petition on his behalf when the timing is right. In the meantime, more animals needs your help.
We know that keeping exotic pets, like Tony, endanger the animals and the people they come into contact with. After an Ohio teen was mauled to death by a pet bear, the state temporarily banned owning exotic pets. This ban should be made permanent. Tell Ohio’s Governor to pass a permanent ban on keeping exotic animals as pets.
Thanks for taking action!

Animal Legal Defense Fund : ALDF Files Suit to Free Tony the Truck Stop Tiger

ALDF Files Suit to Free Tony the Truck Stop Tiger

Sign the petition!The stench of fuel. The deafening sound of diesel engines. The neverending boredom of captivity and isolation. Such are the conditions in which Tony, a 10-year-old Siberian-Bengal tiger, has spent every day and night of the last decade at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, Louisiana. It’s no life for a tiger, or any other animal. That’s why the Animal Legal Defense Fund has filed a lawsuit in Louisiana, arguing that the permit that allows Tony to languish in a roadside cage violates state law.


Kristin Bauer, the actress who portrays the lovely-but-lethal vampire Pam on HBO's award-winning True Blood, has teamed with the Animal Legal Defense Fund in the fight to free Tony.

Tony’s Tragedy
Take Action!In addition to being subjected to noise and diesel fumes 24-hours a day, Tony is also frequently harassed and taunted by visitors at the truck stop. His enclosure is devoid of adequate enrichment, such as logs, trees, or complex vegetation that would allow him to engage in natural tiger behaviors. He has no pool of water large enough to allow him to submerge himself to cool off in the blazing heat of the summer. As a result of the stress of his confinement, Tony constantly paces on the hard concrete surface of his enclosure, putting him at risk for dangerous and painful veterinary conditions. Michael Sandlin, the owner of Tony and the truck stop, has been cited by the USDA due to violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including a lack of proper sanitation and improper feeding practices.

Year after year of living at the Tiger Truck Stop have taken their toll on Tony’s health. The ambient noise from the nearby freeway and the idling trucks, their diesel engines spewing noxious fumes directly into his enclosure, is painful and obtrusive to an animal with such sensitive hearing and an acute sense of smell, says veterinarian Jennifer Conrad, who has 16 years of experience with captive large cats and has visited Tony. “Based on what I have observed of Tony’s enclosure at the Tiger Truck Stop and his behavior from video and photographs, it is my professional opinion that this tiger is in poor condition and needs intervention on his behalf,” she says.

ALDF’s Argument
On April 11, 2011, ALDF filed a lawsuit against the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and its secretary Robert Barham, arguing that he violated state law in granting a permit allowing Sandlin to exhibit Tony at the Tiger Truck Stop. Joining ALDF as a co-plaintiff in the case is former Louisiana Representative Warren Triche, who authored the state’s law which led to the ban on the private ownership of tigers. Two other Louisiana residents, also deeply concerned by Tony’s long-time suffering, are additional co-plaintiffs.

At the heart of ALDF’s position is the fact that Sandlin’s current housing of Tony violates state and local laws. In 2006, the Louisiana state legislature unanimously passed Act 715, which required LDWF to control the private ownership of big cats. The department enacted regulations prohibiting citizens from keeping a tiger as a pet or exhibiting a tiger in the state. In passing these regulations, the department rightly declared that possession of big cats and certain other exotic animals poses significant hazards to public safety and health and is detrimental to the welfare of the animals.

The regulations provided an exception, however: individuals who legally owned big cats as of August 15, 2006, were grandfathered in. These owners would need to apply for an annual permit from the LDWF. An ordinance passed in Sandlin’s parish of Iberville in 1993 made it illegal for anyone to keep a tiger or other large exotic cat on his or her premises for exhibition. In other words, Sandlin did not qualify for the exception because he was not in legal possession of Tony. In addition, Sandlin is ineligible for the state’s grandfathering provision because he does not live on the premises where Tony is kept, contrary to regulations.

Despite the fact that Sandlin was ineligible for a grandfather permit, the LDWF nonetheless issued him one. ALDF is taking the department to court to invalidate this illegally-issued permit.—and free Tony from his troubled life at the truck stop.

Take Action
Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund in urging the state of Louisiana to revoke the permit that allows Tony to be kept at the Tiger Truck Stop—a permit that violates both state and local ordinances designed to protect people and wild animals like Tony.

Sign the petition to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries now!
